Corky's Ribs and BBQ is a Memphis staple, a casual table-service eatery known for its pit-cooked baby back ribs seasoned with a signature dry rub and finished with a tangy-sweet moppin' sauce. Opened in 1984 on Poplar Avenue, the restaurant quickly became a local favorite for its smoky aroma, tender pork, and classic Southern barbecue sides. With steady crowds, friendly service, and a menu built around slow-cooked flavor, Corky's stands as one of East Memphis's most recognizable and enduring barbecue destinations. - AsNotedIn
